Hand
crafted fabric rug kits or instructions for making your own Toothbrush
rug. It's easy to do and fun.
What a great opportunity for you to learn a folk craft from the early years
of the last century and make it with modern methods and modern fabrics.
Or make it with recycled materials, old sheets, garage sale finds, stockings
or even plastic bread bags!
A beautiful toothbrush
rug made by YOU will be a gift your family and friends will never forget.
They will be able to show it off and enjoy it for years to come.
Pick their favorite colors or colors that go with their decor. You
will enjoy making the rug and they will love it.
I
made one for two friends for Christmas and they both loved their rugs.
One could not stand to put it on the floor so she put it on a big overstuffed
chair. That's a new use that hadn't occurred to me!
Mother's
Day, Father's Day (Yes, men love the rugs, too), graduation, weddings,
new homes (What a great Open House gift and not fattening), birthdays,
mitzvahs, confirmations, new puppy, new kitty (animals love to sleep on
them), almost every occasion except maybe baby showers. No, a pretty
pastel or bright colored rug would be great in a nursery and a small round
one would be great in the rocking chair for those quiet feedings.

The
Sewing Bird offers 3 top quality kits that will allow you to make your
own Toothbrush rug.
The
Sewing Bird's kits and instructions have been honed by more than 20 years
of teaching experience in community colleges, fabric shops and community
education classes. This experience has been used to create an
instruction package that will enable anyone to learn this beautiful and
basically simple technique.
The
technique used can be done even by children. Many disabled people find
it easy and gratifying as well. It is a great activity to do in a meeting,
while watching television, traveling, visiting or whatever activity you
may be doing that leaves your hands free.
The
first is the
Deluxe Kit . This is a ready to use kit which contains all
tools, instructions, and 3 coordinated colors of fabric cut into the strips
needed to make a 2' by 3' (0.6 meter X 1 meter) oval rug or a 2 1/2' (0.8
meter) round rug.
We
also offer the
Standard Kit which contains all tools, instructions, and
3 coordinated colors of fabric needed to make a 2' by 3' (0.6 meter X 1
meter) oval rug or a 2 1/2' (0.8 meter) round rug. The fabric in this kit
will need to be cut into strips before use.
With our Instructions and a FREE toothbrush
tool, you can use your own fabric to create your rug.
